Another year,
another Katsu. Katsucon has quickly become our
group’s favorite con despite the 8 hour drive. The weather was great
this year!
Our drive was much easier this time around, last year I had to drive
through
the snow and none of Pennsylvania
was plowed at all. One we got to the con we had major problems finding
parking
and then were bothered by the people on segways handing out postcards
for the
game they were promoting. They would prove to be an annoyance latter on
in the
dealer’s room as well. When we got to our room we were a little mad
because we
were on the 6th floor but the room itself was amazing! We
had a huge
walk in closet we used as a changing room, a nice flat screen TV, and a
balcony!
We all watched the Princess Bride while getting ready then went and
reged and
got some food. Once we got back to the con we were greeted with a
staffer
yelling at us for standing on the carpet! @_@ why would you not let
people
stand on the darn carpet?! Friday was a long day, I changed 3 times and
had 3
photoshoots. I did DOA then checked in for the Masquerade. Then was
Guilty Gear
which was one of the most random shoots I’ve been to. Finally we did
Tenjou
Tenge and we were all very tired and goofy. There are some lol-tastic
pics
thanks to Erisaka. (see side) We tried to get to bed early so we could
be ready
for the Masquerade on Saturday. Saturday was all RO all day. We got
judged but
about an hour late so we elected to skip rehearsal so we could get some
food.
There was some punk kid and his friends that were riding the elevator
up and
down pressing every single button! And he got mad when I called him a
Jackass!
Meet up with other RO cosplayers and took some photos and before we
knew it, it
was show time! Now that I watch the video of our skit we could have
done a bit
better but we all had so much fun anyways. I’m glad people like our
skit and
that we got some good seats for the rest of the night! Congrats to
everyone who
won! Everyone worked so hard and did a fantastic job! After the awards
we went
out to eat. We went to The Woodley Café. It’s a bit pricy but I
recommend everyone
go there next year and get the seafood pasta. It was one of the
tastiest things
I have ever eaten! I kid you not! Sunday was dealer’s room day, we all
blew the
last of out money and I ran around in my Spice and Wolf costume and 1
person
knew who I was. It was pretty funny trying to tell people I was from an
anime
about wolf goddesses and economics! We said our good byes and got some
sushi
for lunch before leaving. Tono sushi on Sunday is a tradition of ours
now! We
spent the car ride home planning our future group cosplays and
reminiscing
about the early days of our fandom. I have to say each year we have
more and
more fun at Katsu! I can’t wait for next year!
